KAD88314-A 5 #1 Posted November 24, 2019 I have recently been given a 314-A. This machine came with a 36 inch side discharge 3 blade deck and front snow blade. It is in need of new blades does anyone know the part number? This is a prior to toro wheel horse. I believe the machine to be a 1985 as it has a 14hp Kohler engine. Just looking for any advice on owning this machine and maintaining it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,527 #7 Posted November 24, 2019 Welcome to the forum The 314-A is a 1985 model and here is what we have on it. Look through them all as they are in no particular order. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?q=314-a&type=downloads_file Unfortunately we do not have an operator manual for 1985 but this early 1986 manual should work for you. In 1986 the engine oil capacity was increased but the early manual did not include this change. A 36" rear discharge deck is the only 36" deck listed for the 314-A. The decks are a simple design that was used for many years so identifying will be a bit of a challenge. Improvements over the years are what make the models different. Bearings and blade center holes being the major differences. Here is the last 36" SD deck produced. Click on the pictures Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 9,316 #11 Posted November 24, 2019 welcome newbie ! , you are on the correct site for w/h info, your request for 36" deck blades ? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wheel+horse+mower+blades&gclid=CjwKCAiA8ejuBRAaEiwAn-iJ3j9LCwyl1NyxPrz-YmGVUqjodxqfvuKkv_2r2xEVigPc8JqgvfcMSRoCG0kQAvD_BwE&hvadid=190484824017&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9003310&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=6299089333826688125&hvtargid=aud-840076997981%3Akwd-298092953748&hydadcr=7141_9462853&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_6murmk2y3f_b, there are so many available types and brands , just easily found this. i question the 36" s/d deck, i only thought the 36 " came in r/d ? a baseline maintenance , of fluid changes, greasing , electrical ,dielectric grease contact points , etc will verify its function. gas filter, SEAFOAM GAS TREATMENT , helps clean out the crud. let us know how you are doing . a few pictures help , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAD88314-A 5 #13 Posted November 25, 2019 Above is the picture of the deck. The model and serial is rubbed off. It’s a 3 spindle deck so it may be larger than 36”. It is currently in storage so I cannot measure it at this time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,316 #14 Posted November 25, 2019 interesting that it looks like a 36" r/d deck yet it has a side discharge chute that would be on a 42 ' deck. more picture detailing and related info will give you an answer, it would not be the first w/h with , " modified attachments " , let us know what ever you can , when you can , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAD88314-A 5 #15 Posted November 25, 2019 From what I can tell from the internet is that in 1983 they made a model 05-ms3602 and a 05mr3602. S for side and R for rear I’m assuming. They come with the same blade set from toro though. 3/4” shaft hole and 2, 12-1/8th Length outside blades and one 14-1/8th center blade. Which doesn’t make sense to me being a side discharge mower.
